14-Catch up

I learned to communicate more confidently in English, especially when discussing everyday topics and expressing my opinions. I enjoyed the interactive speaking activities the most because they helped me practice real-life conversations. One helpful thing was using role-plays, which made the lessons feel practical and engaging. I’m proud of improving my listening skills, as I can understand spoken English better now. However, I need to work on expanding my vocabulary. To improve, I plan to read more articles and keep a vocabulary journal. For the next partial, I’d like to see more group activities that encourage collaboration. I wouldn’t like too many repetitive grammar exercises, as they sometimes feel monotonous. If one of my teachers could bring more multimedia resources, like videos or podcasts, I think it would make the class even more dynamic. Overall, I feel I’m progressing, and I look forward to continuing to improve

My reflexion

This semester, we covered topics like making requests, giving opinions, present perfect & past simple, present continuous, bucket list, products and services,modal verbs and discussing future plans,etc. Before starting, I knew the basics but needed more confidence. I still need to improve my vocabulary and pronunciation, but I enjoyed group discussions, the rol games and listening activities, which helped build my skills.I learned that staying consistent helps me overcome challenges, and I now feel less intimidated about speaking English. I’m proud of my progress in fluency, and I’d tell my past self to participate more from the start. For future courses, I plan to focus on speaking more outside of class and would appreciate extra help with pronunciation. In conclusion this was a great semester and it's all thanks to you teacher, thank you very much I will miss you.
